Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Not so long ago, the doom-and-gloom merchants reckoned large in-person meetings were under severe threat in Europe. COVID-19 lockdowns led to multiple postponements, and the Ukraine war and cost of living crisis made travel extremely difficult.
Live events have bounced back in a significant way. This is confirmed by an important survey of European Society of Radiology members, which also evaluates how radiologists feel about e-learning.
Any study conducted at the world-famous Mayo Clinic is always worth a close look, so please spend a moment reading about how AI can improve radiologists' ability to find clinically significant prostate cancer on MRI.
Meanwhile, a leading U.K. researcher has shared her views about radiology's approach to AI. Implementing robust governance measures, arbitration processes, and multidisciplinary team discussions can play a vital part, along with feedback mechanisms between AI vendors and users, according to Dr. Susan Shelmerdine, PhD.
In other news, lung cancer screening in Austria has received a major boost. A new investigation found that using low-dose CT for a high-risk asymptomatic population would be cost-effective in a national program.
Ever since our website's launch in March 2011, we've covered the fascinating topic of Ancient Egyptian mummies. You can read here about the latest publication by Prof. Sahar Saleem, including some striking CT images.
